In Canada, another popular version of the snack cake is the "May West."



Its biggest following is in the province of Quebec.

There's also King Dons in Canada, A.K.A. Ding Dongs in the US.

I remember it as both-king dons and ding dongs. Funny how they had the different names.

Originally they were produced by separate companies and I believe the name difference was to avoid possible trademark infringement.

Well that makes sense. I also remember king dongs having a foil wrapper around it.

That was in the early days, to help stop the chocolate coating from melting in the lunchbox.

And than I remember it going into a plastic sealed wrap.

Is that it, makes sense. Probably keeps it more fresh that way also. Gosh, I haven't had one of those in a long time. One sounds good right now!

Here in the UK, Ding Dong is sometimes used as an expression of approval of something out of the ordinary

We came upon these at a street market and couldn't resist! And they tasted as good as they looked too!

Salty caramel
Rocky road
Strawberry passion

We have wagon wheels here, they were one of my favorites but like so many things, they have changed over the years.
They're half the size also!

An equivalent snack in the UK is the marshmallow on a thin biscuit, all coated in chocolate and wrapped in foil. I think a variety is called "Choc Mallow".
